Not silent. on water pumps

The pump is supposed to be silent but it hums so loud I can hear it running down the hall. Too loud for such a small pump. I think I'll return it and get a cheaper and quieter product.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Quality

Not the best external option

The pump looks good and probably works well as a submersible pump, but for my application it is external and leaking at the junction of the engine and front end. Tried silicone and still leaking.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not sure

Great little pump for fish and aquatic animals

Works great underwater or dry and is quiet. It has a small footprint and is easy to maintain and clean. The controller works well with multiple speed settings. This is a great little pump for moving water at a reasonable price. It's not designed to move thousands of gallons per hour, but works very well for reactors and UV sterilizers.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Reliability

Aquarium pumps and filters at a good price

It was easy to hook up to my system and has worked flawlessly for the past few weeks or so. The controls work well and the feed break option is handy. At a maximum of 1000 gph, it works quietly. If you're just planning to max it out, it's pretty low noise, but if you dial it down, the noise increases. The lower it is, the quieter it should be, but it's not. This is a good value for a DC reversing pump.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • I'll get back to you later

Now it works fine, but ordering spare parts will not work.

The pump works as advertised and I am happy so far. The problem is that after numerous emails from Hydor I found out that I had no way of purchasing replacement parts. In their own words, "Whether or not your warranty has expired, there are no replacement parts to purchase or order." Why was not explained. This policy encourages me to go elsewhere for future pump needs.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
